They 2 disc DVD's were not loaded. I kept buying them hoping the next movie would have more on them and they never did. Maybe and hour max on the DVD sets. The Blu ray Ultimate editions were the ones that got the hours upon hours of special features, the problem is, they never released the last 2 movies in Ultimate editions, pissing everyone off who collected them and now release this monster of a set.

For $500, this box set should have been made out of wood, not cardboard. Maybe someday I'll get this when it is under $200.

I'm way too flippin' excited beyond words for TDKR to hit blu. In addition to the regular blu-rays of Begins and TDK, I bought the Best Buy exclusive steelbook editions of both and hope they release a TDKR steelbook. I will also get the regular blu-ray and will more than likely buy the trilogy boxed set as well. I've never done this before, (owning multiple editions of a movie/saga) but The Dark Knight Trilogy is worth every cent to me.

Has anyone ever heard anything about a Deathly Hallows combo pack? I have all of the other movies but never bothered with the DH DVDs. I figured they'd eventually release a four-disc or something, but no such luck.

WB was originally going to have both Parts 1 & 2 be in 3D, but because of post-production work taking longer than expected -- the 3D conversion was ditched for Part 1. I guess they completed the work in order to cash in on Blu-ray 3D.

I just watched the first one and didn't like it, so didn't bother with the others. But I am a sucker for box sets and this one looks pretty cool. I'm sure some fans are really going to love this.

Others, who have been buying the individual releases may not be that thrilled, but anyone buying home video knows to expect the inevitable box set for a franchise. I've bought Batman Begins and The Dark Knight, but I know WB will release a box set of all 3 films, maybe in time for Christmas this year or next year.

Keep in mind, guys, the $500 is the MSRP. I could see this going for maybe $350 at Best Buy. Still expensive, but I'll take it over $500. I really would love to watch all of these films, but not enough to buy this gargantuan set with every trinket and format known to man. I'll probably buy them used off of Amazon, and it won't even be $50.

I already unloaded my DVDs and never did the BD upgrade in anticipation of something like this. I wish it weren't so "clunky" though. How about a more modest addition with all the disc content, but a straightforward boxset that'll sit on the shelf next to the rest of the BDs?

It is a nice set for the super-fans, but even if the movies were as good as the books (or close) $500 is a gargantuan price. If it were $200 I'd still feel sticker shock. How much is the Bond set going for??? It's $186 on Amazon right now, and that's 22 films. This is fourteen fewer films and a surplus of nifty cardboard...

I agree with elmtreefilms. Harry Potter is WB's biggest franchise in their possession, and yet they haven't given it the quality treatment given to its first four Batman movies, the Superman collection, and Blade Runner.

I would love to see a 2-disc deluxe treatment for all eight films (as well as remastered A/V quality on the first film), and have that packaged in a nice set. Not this haphazard set with a lot of useless junk.

I could be wrong but it always seemed to me that they really dropped the ball in the extras department through the entire DVD life-cycle for these releases. The featurettes I've seen are very "fluffy" and it would've been nice to have these films chronicled more like LOTR. Needless to say, I don't have $500 to drop on this. That's an expensive double dip.

damn, thats a pretty fancy and cool set. i dont like the movie enough to own them so i'll skip out but fans are getting something good. and i appreciate how they managed to pack it into what seems like a small enough box. not some huge thing that'll either eat up too much shelf space or not fit properly.
